The views from Koti are amazing! In addition one can do a lovely walk up to an apple orchard just outside the hotel. The food in Koti is very good, fresh and delicious! Lastly the staff were all so welcoming and accommodating. Just outside Koti resort there is a little dhaba/shop on the right that makes the most delicious chai and aloo paratha. You must try! Lastly, nearby one can do the blue pine trek with a guide or a hike Shali Tibba which is breath taking, but you have to drive one hour to arrive to the starting point.

Worst ever resort ever visited. They even give bar on rental basis and don’t allow fellow customers who already have paid to enjoy the resort to enter the bar. Worst staff and even worthless manager. Rooms are also outdated. Instead spend some more money and go to a better place. Worst staff ever seen.

We were a large group and stayed at the koti resort for 3 nights. The property is perhaps one of the oldest in Mashobra and so it has very large rooms with a great view of the hills from each side. In the centre of the property there is a large green area which provides great seating both during the day and the evening. The hotel lit up bonfire for the guests each evening and the food was amazing. Mr Rajeev Ahuja, the manager was there to supervise all the arrangements. Service was incredible, fast and efficient. We will be going back for sure.

The property is fantastic, having picturesque view. They also arranged group's camp. To enjoy the place it is better to come with group of friends. Enjoy the hills tour with family and friends in Koti at Mashobra. They were having very good arrangements. Their service was good and food preparation was appreciable.

I am a frequent traveler oversees and within India!! Every quarter I would travel to explore a new place with family or friends. We were in a group of 14 members and booked 7 rooms including all meals… service was pathetic and we had to request staff to please take our order… Rooms are really small compared to how it looks on website.. every time you change side during your sleep bed makes an irritating sound… Wait staff was so rude, I asked them for some cookies along with evening tea and they refused… Staff expected me to remember all our 7 room numbers.. I said everyone is coming and they will give respective room numbers, on this staff says sir aapko sab rooms ke numbers to yaad rakhne chaiye. Overall small rooms, very uncomfortable beds, rude staff and equally arrogant front office people… I have never seen such non helpful staff at any resort, beds were so uncomfortable that we decided to drive back on our second night and not sleeping here even though we paid for 2 nights… Sharing video of what they call luxury suite..…

Dear Guest, Greetings!! Thank you for your feedback regarding your visit to Koti Resorts. Our attempt at Koti Resorts is to constantly monitor the service standard and are very prompt in addressing any issues . We are sorry we did not meet your expectations. On taking a feedback from my staff and understanding the concern raised by you, I wish to humbly submit that our Deluxe Room sizes are not at small as mentioned by you. We are offering a total area of 290 sft and we clearly mention the same in our website. If the 8 inches spring mattresses have made you uncomfortable then we seriously have to look for alternates. You have been enjoying late night get-together of your group, time exceeding way past mid-night with loud music and drinks. If our staff requested you to stop the music so that the other in-house guests don't get disturbed, is no rude and arrogant behavior. (Thanks for damaging our Banquet Linen with your Hookas) You decided of your own to travel back by a night journey (on your coach), the way you came travelling overnight, so how come the blame on the uncomfortable beds, as no other guest have complained so far to us of a discomfort in sleep. It seems, as you decided to travel overnight, you asked for a Breakfast allowance too, which when regretted, the arrogant behavior of the front office staff is reported. Still, I deeply apologize for your stay experience and for not meeting some of your expectations during your visit. Please give us an opportunity to make amends, request you to kindly let me know whenever you will be visiting again to Koti Resorts, I will be happy to handle the arrangements personally. Thanks & Regards, Rajeev Ahuja
